Answer:

-3 - (-1) = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

First simplify:

-3 - (-1)

= -3 + 1

Then, take the sign of the larger number (i.e., the negative sign).

= -2

In B E C, F is the centroid, and AC = 12. Find A F and F C

klemol [59]

bearing in mind that the centroid in a triangle cuts each of the three medians in a 2:1 ratio.

since we know that A C = 12, let's split it in a 2:1 ratio then, cleary from the picture the larger is F C, so F C : A F is on a 2:1 ratio.

$\bf A C=A F+F C\qquad \qquad \cfrac{F C}{A F}=\cfrac{2}{1}\qquad \qquad \cfrac{2\cdot \frac{12}{2+1}}{1\cdot \frac{12}{2+1}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 4}{1\cdot 4}\implies \cfrac{8}{4}$

Put these in order from greatest to least.

nikklg [1K]

86%, 3/4, 0.682, 0.67, 5/8, 0.41

^ I converted the above to decimals first and then arranged them that way.

1/20 = 0.05 x 100 = 5%

12) Find the sum, S7 for the geometric series {1 + 5 + 25 + - + 15625).

zhenek [66]

Understanding:

The sum of a geometric series is, $a+ar+ar^2+ar^3+...$ , with a being the start point and r is the common ratio. We can also use the following formula to make life easier $S_n=a\frac{1-r^n}{1-r}$ , a is your start point, r is the common ratio, and n is the number of terms, which in our case is S7.
